Interview: Tom Stoppard on the "Very Huggable Experience" of Bringing Leopoldstadt to Broadway

TheaterMania: It's fair to assume that Tom Stoppard, now 85 and the author of intellectual works like Arcadia and The Coast of Utopia, would be intimidating to talk to. It was hard not to be nervous when he appeared in the Zoom window, dutifully set up by his wife, Sabrina, to discuss the Broadway run of his Holocaust drama Leopoldstadt, which has been going strong at Broadway's Longacre Theatre since the fall. To my delight, Stoppard is a warm and thoughtful subject, eager to discuss his latest (but, he hopes, not last) play, and how much love he has for his actors.
